00:00Do keep in mind, suspension is no legal action.
00:05Legal action would entail registration of the first information report
00:09and then evidence-based prosecution.
00:12Because speak to the parents of those who've lost their loved ones.
00:16Take for example Akshat Yadav from Katni, Madhya Pradesh,
00:20a second-year B.com student at PGDAV College.
00:23Or Pavannath, a first-year B.Sc. student at Motilal College
00:26from Auraiya in Uttar Pradesh.
00:28Or Abhishek Kumar, again a student of Motilal College,
00:32a native of Varansi in Uttar Pradesh.
00:34Or Arpit, 18 years, all of 18 years.
00:38And Yuvraj, he's been identified by his friends.
00:42His family has yet to reach for his positive identification.
00:46They were all sent here in hope of a bright future.
00:51They left their homes, they left their villages, they left their towns.
00:54They came to Delhi, living in these very dingy homes,
00:58hoping they would have a bright future.
01:01But death was lurking around the corner.
01:04And I quickly want to cut across to Anmol Bali,
01:08my colleague who joins me for more on this story.
01:11And right now, the situation, Anmol, is so bad
01:15that there are apprehensions.
01:17There could be other unsafe buildings like this.
01:20If it was authorized to have two or three floors,
01:23how did this building have more floors
01:25without the administration knowing anything about it?
01:29And yet, they were digging up the basement,
01:31apparently, to create more room.
01:38Gaurav, currently, I am here at the Satya Niketan,
01:41which became the epicenter.
01:42After we have seen that a building collapse,
01:44which resulted in the death of seven people,
01:47and five officials of the MCD
01:49have been now suspended by the Delhi government.
01:52We have seen action by Delhi CM Rekha Gupta,
01:54where they have launched a magistral inquiry into this matter.
01:56Delhi police has filed an FIR.
01:58Three people have been detained by Delhi police,
01:59the owner of the building, his wife and his son.
02:01But on the other hand, I'll also show you
02:03the visual of this place,
02:04which is a student-oriented, student-centric place,
02:07where thousands of students,
02:08those who study in the south campus of the Delhi University,
02:10they study here, they stay here,
02:12they pay thousands of rupees per bed,
02:14means around 10,000 to 15,000 to 20,000,
02:17depending on the accommodation.
02:18But at the end, what they get?
02:20Death, bad food, and even civic apathy.
02:24So currently, the students from all students' union,
02:27like from ISA, SFS, ABVP,
02:29Akhil Bharati, Vidyarthi Parishad, and NSUI,
02:32all are protesting here,
02:33because on 18th September,
02:35we will be seeing DUSU elections,
02:37and keeping all that thing in mind,
02:39DUSU elections,
02:40and the current situation,
02:41after the building collapse,
02:43the student organizations are protesting here,
02:45not only one student organization,
02:47but all student organizations,
02:49from left to right, and right to center,
02:51they are protesting here,
02:52that they have called a candle march,
02:53and they are asking to the administration,
02:55that what about those students,
02:57those who have lost their life,
02:58the people,
02:58those who have lost their life,
03:00in this accident,
03:01because this is not the very first time,
03:03Gaurab, we are seeing this,
03:03we have seen in Rajinder Nagar,
03:05also,
03:05where three UPSC experts have lost their life,
03:08they were drowned,
03:09in the flood water,
03:10in the basement,
03:10and later,
03:11we have also seen,
03:12a fire incident,
03:15in Mukherjee Nagar area,
03:16where various students,
03:17died due to,
03:18the fire incident,
03:20and this is not the very first time,
03:21that due to the civic apathy,
03:23of the MCD,
03:24Delhi government,
03:25we are seeing this,
03:26Delhi government say,
03:27either it was Amadi party,
03:28earlier we used to see,
03:29that Amadi party,
03:30used to assure,
03:31that they will take action,
03:33against the Babus,
03:33but what about the action,
03:35what about the ground reality,
03:36the reality is still same,
03:38still students are victim,
03:40of negligence,
03:40of municipal corporation,
03:42of Delhi and Delhi government,
03:43Gaurab.
